Describe the bug

When an instance (like my private one) is configured to sort posts (and possibly comments - I didn't test this) by anything other than the default (Hot for subreddit posts), the new setting doesn't take effect until the Settings page is opened and "Save" is clicked at least once (even if none of the settings were changed).

Steps to reproduce the bug

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
0. Configure your Redlib instance to sort posts by anything other than "Hot" (using REDLIB_DEFAULT_POST_SORT in my case), and restart it.

1. Visit any subreddit through your instance (the default r/popular page is fine).
2. Notice that posts are sorted by "Hot" instead of your default setting (I use "New" on my instance).
3. Go to the settings page. Notice the default subreddit post sort is set to your new default.
4. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page. No need to change any settings.
5. Go back to the previous page and refresh (to apply settings "changes").

What's the expected behavior?

Subreddit posts will always be sorted by your instance's chosen default setting, even without saving any settings on the client end.
